Right, time to lose weight.

[CodeWraith]

Oh, he can eat a two pound steak. As often as he wants to. It's all protein, fat and water, but zero carbohydrates. No carbohydrates means no fuel, so the body must fall back on the reserves and the bacon belt melts. The problem is, that these reserves can't be accessed so easily and too much physical activity might lead to him collapsing and not getting up again. I would not try this without medical supervision and certainly not go merrily running around in lonly places.

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

Balanced diet and running is far better than zero carbohydrates.

True: if you want to get fit False: if you want to lose weight. Only way to loose weight: eat less

Not to say exercise isn't important but... One minute physics[^] I just like quoting the choc bar vs exercise example. People, especially in the new year, tend to do it all from the start and fail. Start small and start with your diet. I've changed my diet this year and any day now, I'll be getting the cross trainer downstairs to take it to the next level. Yep, any day now :~

In the long run (pun intended), yes, but some quick results may help you to get started.

It works, I made my tests.

It's lose ffs.

I got on very well with WeightWatchers - online only. I started because my partner did it, and just by eating the meals she was, still raiding the snack machine at work, still drinking like a fish at weekends, even I lost half a stone. There are some cracking recipes on the site - we have about a seven week rotation of meals that we still eat even when not on the diet (Potato, Pea & Paneer Balti is a special favourite)

I intend to make this a long term thing. It is easy to stick to, and you are not hungry. Meat, veg, nice sauces, and even as I said a cheese fondue, there is nothing NOT to like about that lot! Because of the amount of physical work I dont on the house, I am currently rebuilding a wall knocked over by a car, I got some work out drink, high energy and nutrients, no sugar. I am going to try that when I get tired, it might kick the body into fat burning mode. Look, body builders trim down before events, and work out while doing so to get their fat down to really low levels, so they must know some tricks. :)

[Munchies_Matt]

Tried that, I am too heavy. Started getting sore ankles. Cycling is better, though at the moment I am doing quite a lot of physical work.

[Munchies_Matt]

But it SOUNDS like loose. Stupid language English is! :)

I just ate a frigging cheese fondue! That IS eating, and damn yummy too! :)

[Munchies_Matt]

I am good for recipes, I love cooking, so no worries there! :)

[Munchies_Matt]

Thanks, good to know it works.

Choose one. Energy comes from sugars. There is *nothing* wrong in sugars, fats or carbohydrates. They just need to be correctly rationed and most of all the snacks and continuous eating must be reduced, preferrably to 0. We do a fully cerebral and static job, which stresses us a lot and induce false hunger (more like: "I need something to fill me and give me endorphines - HEY is that a chocolate caramel nuts dried fruit bar??! That will do!"). Willpower is the only cure for that stress induced hunger.

The body can turn fat (and protein) into sugars. Thats the key.

[den2k88]

But not short-term energy like what one wants from energy drinks. They might and usually will replenish minerals lost and give some vitamins whihc help the overall efficiency of the body but there is no fast energy without sugars.

I know, this drink isnt sugars, it is nutrients and energy boosters.

Diet, basically zero carbs/low GI. Rye bread for example has a Glycemic Index of 45, not much more than broccoli, so that is an OK carb.

That is not eating :) But with the fondue i agree! :-D

Which is perfectly right for that particular situation, but please think about burning after excercise and the gain of muscles, which actually will also burn calories by default. That is why i'd suggest you to start training instead of stop eating :) you have 2 ways, raise your daily need or reduce your daily input, i prefer the first. But thats all just my opinion on that topic.
